    New outboard

    So does that mean the high thrust 9.9 will move the boat faster then the regular 9.9?

    New outboard

    Well, I have decided instead to sell my yamaha 9.9 and just buy something new. I was looking at the suzukis, and noticed they have a 9.9 high thrust which has the same displacement as their 20hp. Is this 9.9 just a choked down version of the 20hp, maybe it has a cam stop?

    Anyone here know Yamaha's?

    I have a 1987 Yamaha 9.9SH. Im going to rebuild my carb, but I was wondering if anyone knows if the 15hp carb is different than the 9.9 other than jetting and main nozzle? I figure while its apart I may as well change that stuff out too, unless the actual carb itself has a bigger intake. I...

    How to Secure Battery & Box to Floor of My Jon Boat

    I dont have a box, but I have a tray. What I did was took a piece of 1" plywood, sealed it, then glued it to the aluminum floor with PL2000. Then I screwed the tray down with a bunch of screws. 4 years and still going strong.

    Aluminum or not?

    So heres the deal. I remodeled my back deck last season in my 1542, and im not too happy with the way it came out. I also put new carpeting on the back deck and floor, and I was going to recarpet the front this year. Now im thinking, since I dont like the back deck and im going to pull the front...

    hand vs foot

    On my jon boat I have a hand controlled. On the Triton its a foot controlled. Now, I always used to prefer the hand control, but after fishing yesterday with the foot control, im seriously starting to think about switching the jon boat to foot. Im not sure why, but something told me that I have...

    Carb or carpet?

    So I'm a bit indecisive these days. I have my back deck apart, replacing my live well. I thought now would be a good time to recarpet since it is apart. The current carpet in my boat is a bit slippery when it rains, so if I'm going to redo the back I'm gonna do it all. At the same time, I'm...
